Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Yikes! Some down votes....Im guessing you dont want the assembly to move out of country?
Yet, many parts are made there, or even an Alien Pin is OK, and made outside US....?
Don't sweat the down votes. They just mean not agreeing with your posting.
Now, as far as your $3-$6/ hour labor; There soon coud be a 30% tariff/excise tax on goods made in certain low labor cost countries. That wil bring assembly back to the USA. The car/truck and semitrailer manufacturers with plants in Mexico are watching this carefully. Think about a plant that pays workers $20-$25/day, gives two hot meals/shift and provides subsidized housing. They sell their vehicle to a US buyer for $4k less than a US plant can due to labor cost differences, Eliminate that gap and maybe penalize it and the jobs will come back to the USA.
Quoted from NeilMcRae:The jobs will come back with the 30% tariff in the price! Never been a success to do this. Or maybe not, given the cost to cover the tariff will be less than the cost to setup in the US...
But, we have never added a tariff on to a product made by a US company that moved their manufacturing to another country. We've only done it to foreign corporations that started dumping their products here without allowing our stuff to go there.
Best example, the $75.00 tariff added to Japanese teevees by Nixon. End result; US teevee manufacturers raised their teevee prices by.... seventy-five bucks almost overnight. My example would be different since car manufacturers have plants here. They may have to "idle" a plant in Mexico. Or several plants....
Quoted from NeilMcRae:its not so simple; manufacturing is truly global, especially for some of the precious metals that you need these days. don't get me wrong I'd rather see manufacturing local but when you can make something in China for half the price anywhere else...
If the USA slaps a 20 or 30% tarrif on cars, trucks and trailers built in Mexico, you'll see how fast those companies close those plants up and move that manufacturing (back, in some cases) to the USA as there is not enough demand in Mexico for those vehicles.
Maybe Ford. GM, Fiat/Chrysler and Hyundai will lease their plants there to Jarritos so they can bottle soda in them.
Quoted from iceman44:Btw, where is the JJP $5k pin?
Jack played it; but he didn't like that low of a price.....
Quoted from Homepin:Please tell me where I can get a glass for $2 - even here in China is it a lot more than that!!
Long Glass Co. Detroit, Michigan; USA.
Quoted from J85M:Bumping up prices on games already off the production line and shipped out to distributors is ridiculous
See: ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Petroleum, Amarada Hess, BP, Arco, Unocal etc.....
Quoted from NPO:No pinball machine from today is worth $8000.
Sorry, someones signature and a new set of decals does not equate to that level of price to me.
And the signature is a Pen name.
Quoted from ifpapinball:Thanks for operating them!
Now if Mr. Ritchie would spend less time at Stern or Heighway or Spooky or wherever the heck he's designing Pulp Fiction, his next game for Raw is hitting the production line in 3 weeks.
Walking Dead Arcade. Gonna be huge!
Another Sega product or will this one be by Chicago Gaming?
Quoted from ifpapinball:Walking Dead Arcade?
That's a full in house Raw Thrills/Play Mechanix production.
Thanks.
